Samples are analyzed with three gas chromatographs, two equipped with electron-capture detectors and the other equipped with a flame-ionization detector.  Data acquisition and results are analyzed with the latest personal computer technology. I am also involved in the digestion and analyses of environmental samples for metal contamination. Samples are analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry and soon also by inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy.</div> <bR> <div> Other duties include:</div> <bR> <div> Use and maintenance of PCB extraction equipment, gas chromatographs, an HPLC unit, atomic absorption spectrophotometers and ICP unit; perform water quality analyses of stream samples; setup and help with the maintenance of a wet-lab used for culturing experimental organisms (fathead minnows, Japanese medaka, <I>Daphnia</I> <I>pulex</I>, <I>Ceriodaphnia</I>, <I>Hyalella azteca</I>, and <I>Artemia</I>); preparation of final PCB results, figures, and reports; aid in field operations; collection of fish by electroshocking; lab manager and safety supervisor.</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
